Goals update

As I set myself some goals for the year in the snowflake challenge, I thought it would be fun to keep tabs on them across the year, so here's my first update ...

Fandom goals

Write more words than I did last year, ie: more than 27,000
I'm currently on 1,623, so I'm a bit behind target with a long way to go yet
Take part in at least one new challenge, either arting or writing (I will fulfil this as I intend to do the 'Quicky Bang' that's doing the rounds at the moment)
I took part in the Quicky Bang, would maybe like to take part as a writer in the next round?  Assumung I take part in all my usual challenges this year, the goal is fulfilled.
Maintain and build interest and activity in the two communities that I co-mod on Livejournal, spn_bigpretzel and  spn_on_parade
Ongoing ...

Art goals

Produce three new pictures for my art collection for the summer show season.
First one done - Alpaca pic
Look at at least one new trading avenue for dapplegrey art
Dapplegrey art products on Zazzle; goal fulfilled
Draw at least four more supernatural pictures for the convention season in May
A picture of Sam and Dean done; one down, three to go.

Real life goals

Everyday goals
Support Mr D through the big changes in his life
Ongoing
Lose my pre-Christmas weight
Lost ten pounds since Christmas, goal fulfilled
New goal: lose another stone before con season
Get my arse back in the gym (will have to wait on this one, as gym membership is on hold while Mr D is between jobs!)
Gym membership will be activated again in March

Milestone year goals
Have at least one exciting or interesting new experience for my milestone year!
Got a couple of ideas, these have been dependent on getting Mr D out earning again, so once he has a start date, I can start planning.
Do something really worthwhile for a good cause that doesn't just involve donating money
still pondering on this one.

Sad Dizzo.

There's no 100 days of happy post today because I'm not feeling very happy.  At all.

I killed a beautiful fox while I was driving home from work today.  I was driving along, doing about 40, and he was just there - out of nowhere, right in front of me. I didn't even have time to to touch the brake.  I heard and felt the bang as my car hit him head on, and I just hope with all my heart that he died instantly, and didn't suffer.

In over 25 years of driving, it's the first time I've ever run over an animal, and I feel like the worst kind of shit.

I'm so very sorry, little guy.
